Wade-Giles: Ts‘ao Huan (Ching-ming)
Simplified Chinese: 曹奂 (景明)
Pronunciation: Cao2 Huan4 (Jing3ming2)
Name Notes: Originally named Cao Huang (曹璜). An Emperor’s given name was ineffable. As such, it was stricken from use (sometimes changing city names and re-writing literature). Cao Huang changed his name to Huan to lessen the impact of this practice (learn more).
